About Your Case

In addition to the physical and financial hardships that may be caused by an injury, pursuing a legal action can also be emotionally trying. At D. Lee Johnson & Associates, we understand the value of providing the emotional support and encouragement that are sometimes needed to pursue your legal rights.

It is important that you know and protect your rights when dealing with personal injury. We strive to obtain the maximum recovery the law allows, through aggressive representation and innovative strategies. We will provide you with our professional opinions about your case and we will strive to provide you with exceptional personal attention throughout the duration of our representation.

Once we have accepted a case, we do not ask you to pay a retainer fee up front, because we recognize that most people cannot afford to do so. Our fees are based on a percentage of any recovery we obtain for you. This is known as a contingent fee agreement. This percentage is agreed to by both parties before we begin working on a case and can vary depending on the type of claim and the stage at which you retain us to help you.

If we do not obtain a recovery for you, you do not pay us a fee.

When working on your case, our goal is to quickly gather evidence and seek qualified experts to build a strong case. Our past success enables us to accept the financial risk of advancing all necessary litigation-related costs to help prove your case. Costs can be incurred for such things as paying experts, obtaining medical records, meeting with doctors to discuss a client's injuries or medical care, court filing fees and other case-related activities. Costs will vary depending on the complexity and length of your case. Our firm is reimbursed for costs if we are successful in obtaining a settlement or through payment of a judgment.

Before settling any case, we always review any offers made by opposing counsel with you and provide a complete breakdown of all related fees and costs. This is done to give you a clear understanding of the settlement or judgment as well as to give you a clear understanding of what you will receive after all fees, bills and costs are paid. We cannot settle without your permission.
